Hi, guys
I am thinking to give it try gentoo, I am reading wiki, asking questions on irc but I need to think about it and learn more about that distro. I can easily do the same on arch but here I have some issues. I can see some tutorials but those are old and some packages not there - and this is blocking my progress.
Could you please give me some advice how where should I start? I am trying following wiki but ... what components use for LVM/LUKS - how to activate them during start.
I want to have 2 partitions
- sda1 /boot ext4
- sda2 / LUKS -> root + swap
- grub
- systemd |

Welcome to Gentoo Forums!
First download a live desktop like ubuntu.
Put it into a usb.
Boot into it.
Then Download the systemd tarball
https://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/20240915T163400Z/stage3-amd64-systemd-20240915T163400Z.tar.xz
create two partitions.
One ESP and another one to be formatted as luks.
Open luks partition and then
mount both under /mnt. Chroot into you system and proceed as shown in the handbook.
You need to have
and a grub line like
| Code: |
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=<UUID of luks patition>:<name of decrypted volume> root=/dev/mapper/<name of decrypted volume>"
|
You need to install
to create an initramfs
and also create an entry of the luks partition in
/etc/crypttab.

- sda2 / LUKS -> root + swap

If you want also swap inside sda2 then you need to create lvm on top of luks and create two logical volumes one for root and one for swap.
Your proposed layout will be like
| Code: |
/devsda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 #luks partition
|
/dev/mapper/<luks?> /
|
Or
| Code: |
/devsda1 /boot
/dev/sda2 #luks partition
|
/dev/mapper/<luks?>
|
/dev/vg/root /
/dev/vg/swap #as swap
|
A better layout with three partitions
| Code: |
/devsda1 /efi or /boot/efi
/dev/sda2 /boot
/dev/sda3 #luks partition
|
/dev/mapper/<luks?>
|
/dev/vg/root /
/dev/vg/swap #as swap
|
